This groundbreaking, Emmy-winning show redefined its genre by featuring two strong and intelligent female detectives with real lives and real problems. Over seven seasons, the show tackled many contemporary social issues—including the sexism that Cagney and Lacey dealt with in each episode—and explored the human side of hard-boiled detective work. Between them, Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless won Best Actress Emmys (four for Daly, two for Gless) an unprecedented six years in a row. Contained here on four discs are their first 22 episodes together during the show's first season.
